1 Introduction

The GRCM driver permits the ProLinx Communication Gateways, Inc. module to interface GARECO Check Weigher using Remote Control Instruction to the many protocols and networks available. The driver supports one to four ports that provide accessibility from one to four independent serial networks.

1.1 General Specifications

 Ports: One to four ports to receive and/or transmit data  Receive buffer size: 255 bytes  Receive termination: Termination character  Receive database location: 0 to 7000  Communication Configuration

o Baud Rate: 300 to 115,200 o Parity: None, Odd, Even o Data Bits: 5 to 8 o Stop Bits: 1 or 2 o RTS On and Off Timing: 0 to 65535 milliseconds o Minimum Response Delay: 0 to 65535 milliseconds o Hardware Handshaking: RTS/CTS

Supports device types of Topline VS/VO, “S” Series, and “E” Series

1.2 Resources

The ProLinx Communication Gateways, Inc. Startup Guide provides general information on all ProLinx modules including installation, editing configuration files, cabling and jumper configurations, troubleshooting, and a wide range of useful information.

2 Functionality

This section describes the functionality of the GRCM driver.

2.1 Data Flow

The following diagram displays receive and transmit dataflow of the GRCM driver.

Data received from the GRC device is accepted by the receive driver and placed in the receive database location. The receive driver starts saving the characters when a character is received. The receive driver waits until a termination character is recognized while receiving the data before placing the new data into the database.

The LF character is used as the termination condition for a received message. This signals the end of the message. When the receive driver observes this character in the input stream, it takes all received characters, processes them, and places them in the internal database according to the command and parameters types returned.

The data flow for configuration data from an external device to the GRC device is also shown in the previous diagram. When the configuration driver is triggered, it copies the data in the internal database into the transmit buffer and sends the new data to the GRC device.

2.2 GRCM Database Map

Data transmitted to and from GRC device is placed in a fixed location in the module’s internal database. The following table and section show where and how GRC module’s internal database looks like:
